Besides LMI and Stewmac does anyone have a source for the teflon strips? I need different sizes than what LMI and Stewmac offers... Trying to inlay very narrow pearl. Any help would be gladly appreciated! Thanks! |

I retrieved some HDPE that a neighbor threw out; the stuff they use for cutting boards. It was in pieces four or six feet long. I run it through my joiner, cut off a slice, and take it down to thickness with the Wagner planer before cutting off strips. You can get the stuff through plastics supply houses in most cities, I think. You don't need to use real Teflon, which is much more expensive; the HDPE keeps it's shape well and doesn't stick to most glues. |
